The Beichen Empire's training for Warplane pilots is still very manual, requiring each pilot to have extremely high flying skills and combat abilities.
This means that even the most outstanding pilot needs at least a hundred hours of flight time to familiarize themselves with and consolidate their flying and combat skills when they come into contact with a new type of aircraft.
But Xia Chujian only spent five minutes to fly the Warplane to supersonic speed, and even fired several live rounds in the sky! Every shot hit the target, more skilled and precise than the young Instructor who had been flying the Harrier-type Warplane for five years!
The young Instructor sitting in the back, filming Xia Chujian's operating techniques with the training recorder, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth! Is this really a pilot who has never driven a Ground Fighter before?!
He couldn't help but ask through the headset system: "Second Lieutenant Xia, have you flown a Harrier-type Warplane before?"
Xia Chujian answered simply according to her persona: "No, I started learning with Starry Sky Fighters."
The young Instructor praised: "Your driving skills are more standard than mine, you can use them to make teaching materials."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Instructor, you flatter me. You taught me well, that's why I learned so quickly."
She herself was actually quite surprised!
She didn't expect the Harrier-type Warplane to be so simple to operate...
When her hand was on the control stick, concentrating on driving, she even felt that the entire Warplane was an extension of her five senses! Looking at the data displayed on the Harrier-type Warplane's control panel, she could not only accurately understand the meaning of these data, but also quickly adjust her control of the Warplane, allowing it to perform at its best!
She saw on the control panel that the actual maximum speed of the Harrier-type Warplane could reach 36 kilometers per minute, but she felt that the actual maximum speed of this Warplane could still be improved, preferably to reach its theoretical maximum speed—54 kilometers per minute.
She had just flown the Warplane to supersonic speed, which was 18 kilometers per minute, so she had not yet reached the actual maximum speed of this Warplane.
Xia Chujian held the control stick, gradually increasing the kinetic energy output of the engine, while constantly adjusting the altitude.
The higher she went, the less air resistance she would encounter, but at the same time, the lift would also decrease. But because it was a Ground Fighter, there was no need to infinitely increase the altitude to above the atmosphere, because this light Harrier-type Ground Fighter could not resist the pull of gravity at all, and would disintegrate in the air when it reached its altitude limit.
Therefore, she needed to find an optimal match between altitude and speed, so that this Warplane could break through its actual maximum speed and reach its theoretical maximum speed.
And just as she was concentrating all her attention on speed measurement flight, the young Instructor sitting in the back, recording her operation process with the training recorder, suddenly turned paler and paler.
Because he saw on the control panel that the flight speed of this Harrier-type Warplane was getting closer and closer to the actual maximum speed—36 kilometers per minute! In the past twenty years, all the Star Region Guard combined had not had a pilot fly at this speed!
Only when the Harrier-type Warplane was still in research and testing, a genius test pilot flew at a speed of 36 kilometers per minute...
And for that genius test pilot, that speed was also flown out with his life.
Because at that time, the engine of the Harrier-type Warplane exploded in the air after reaching this speed for thirty seconds, and the entire Warplane disintegrated directly! That test pilot therefore left a record in the data history book of the Harrier-type Warplane, a speed that no one has been able to reach or surpass in the past twenty years!
But now, this young Instructor found that the student he was teaching on the first day was actually approaching this speed! He roared: "Slow down! Slow down! You can't reach this speed! Danger! Danger!"
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't rush to the front row to grab the control stick at this time, he would have punched this daring female student unconscious! Xia Chujian was focusing all her attention on finding the best fit point, and suddenly the person behind her shouted, and the voice was transmitted directly to her ears through the Bluetooth headset, scaring her.
Xia Chujian quickly said: "Instructor, don't worry! There will be no danger, I'm very careful!"
"What do you know?! Don't think you're so great just because you've flown a Ghost-class Starry Sky Fighter! This is the lowest-end Harrier-type Warplane among Ground Fighters! Its performance indicators are the worst! It can't be compared to a Ghost-class Starry Sky Fighter!" The young Instructor only felt that his life was in great danger, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he was almost hoarse.
"Hurry up and slow down! If you don't slow down! I'm reporting to the ground control station! I'm going to parachute!" he shouted, and was about to press the seat ejector.
Xia Chujian was amused by his anger, and suddenly issued several instructions on the control panel, taking over the entire Warplane, depriving the rear seat of the seat ejection function, and of course, also depriving the rear seat of the function of opening the hatch and unfastening the seat belt.
She was increasing the kinetic energy output of the engine and increasing the speed, and if the rear row suddenly ejected the cockpit hatch and ejected her seat, what would she become? On the first day of training, she would become the laughing stock of the entire base!
She could even imagine that a large, red-lettered title would appear on the base's official website forum.
#New student forces Instructor to eject and parachute to save himself on the first day in the sky!#
If things continue like this, how can her dream be realized?! If she can't be promoted directly to a Colonel-Ranked Officer, how can she catch up with Huo Yushen's promotion path!
Xia Chujian said coldly through the headset: "Shut up! I'm driving the Warplane now, you're just an assistant! If this were on the battlefield, you would be a deserter! You are the enemy's helper! In short, a traitor!"
With a "big hat" put on him, the young Instructor was shocked and stopped struggling, and fell silent.
But he was also extremely frightened.
He was still very young, of Noble birth, graduated from a key university, and had some talent in flying. A bright future was waiting for him, and he didn't want to die in a normal teaching session like this!
Just as he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, Xia Chujian had already driven the Harrier-type Warplane to a speed of 36 kilometers per minute!
Since the sacrifice of that test pilot, no one had ever reached the actual maximum speed of the Harrier-type Warplane, and it was finally reached.
The next second, the speed reached 36.5 kilometers per minute.
The actual maximum speed of the Harrier-type Warplane was surpassed at this moment!
Every training aircraft in the base has a wireless connection to the ground control console, allowing the aerial training data from each aircraft to be transmitted directly to the base control console for unified scoring.
At this moment, as Xia Chujian's Harrier-type Warplane broke through its actual maximum speed and continued to accelerate, the base's ground control console sounded its highest alert.
"Attention all base personnel! Attention all base personnel! Harrier-type Warplane YA02 is exceeding its actual maximum speed! Pilot, please contact ground control! Pilot, please contact ground control!"
The alert echoed throughout the base, and everyone from the highest-ranking Chief Instructor to the cleaning staff looked up at the clear blue sky.
Xia Chujian's Warplane was already out of sight, but everyone could still see a sharp trail of white smoke in the sky! Chief Instructor Pei Zijing quickly rushed to the main control room of the ground control console, took the communicator from a staff member, and called out to Harrier-type Warplane YA02 in a deep voice.
"This is Ground Main Control Room Pei Zijing! Harrier-type Warplane YA02 pilot, please respond! Harrier-type Warplane YA02 pilot, please respond!"
By this time, Xia Chujian had gained a much better understanding of the Harrier-type Warplane's performance and could spare some energy to communicate with the ground.
She connected to the ground communicator and said, "This is Xia Chujian, Chief Pilot of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet Ghost-class Fighter, currently piloting Harrier-type Warplane YA02. Chief Instructor Pei, please advise."
Pei Zijing said, "Who is your flight Instructor? Let him speak."
Xia Chujian was silent for a moment, then opened another channel and said to the young Instructor who had been hysterical earlier, "Instructor, Chief Instructor Pei wants to speak with you."
The young Instructor had indeed been on the verge of collapse, but his 'nothing to lose' attitude had saved him.
He sneered, opened the ground communicator, and said, "Chief Instructor Pei, this is YA02 Instructor Yu Fei. Trainee Xia Chujian is disobeying orders and has flown into a dangerous speed zone without authorization. I request the Chief Instructor to order the Warplane to return!"
Pei Zijing: "..."
This answer was not what he had expected.
Pei Zijing quickly reviewed the flight data transmitted from Harrier-type Warplane YA02.
According to the data, the Warplane's engine was currently in normal flight status.
The engine data showed no anomalies, indicating that it was still in a stable zone and should not experience accidents such as explosions or disintegration.
However, Pei Zijing could not disregard the Instructor's words, as he knew his own Instructor better than a trainee who had just arrived for her first day of training.
Looking at the data, he asked, "Instructor Yu Fei, are there any system malfunctions on Warplane YA02? Are there any unusual gas odors in the cabin?"
Yu Fei felt he was saved. He immediately sat up straight, quickly took off his helmet to sniff the air, then hurriedly put it back on and said into the ground communicator, "Reporting, Chief Instructor Pei, there are no system malfunction warnings, and no unusual gas odors."
If there were a problem with the engine, a peculiar gas odor would definitely spread to the cabin first.
Moreover, this was just a very small Harrier-type Warplane. Even if the operating system failed, it was impossible for the engine to have a major malfunction without the personnel in the cabin being aware of it.
Pei Zijing pursed his lips and then asked Xia Chujian, "Xia Chujian, what do you think? Do you think your Warplane's engine will explode and disintegrate because it exceeds its actual maximum speed?"
Xia Chujian then said, "Chief Instructor Pei, the Warplane's engine has a maximum RPM threshold. Exceeding this threshold will definitely cause the engine to explode and disintegrate. But I don't think it has reached that threshold yet, so there is still potential for speed increase!"
Pei Zijing thought so too. He was also an excellent pilot, with extensive experience piloting both Ground Fighters and Starry Sky Fighters.
Based on the data he saw, he felt that Xia Chujian could go even faster...
Unknowingly, it's the end of the month again, and I forgot to ask for monthly tickets! Monthly tickets, Xiaoxiang Tickets, and Recommendation Tickets, please vote! There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
